Bain`s hat-trick against Austria

Kenny Bain, the former Glynhill Kelburne striker who now plays
for Dutch first division side Hurley, scored a hat-trick in
Scotland`s 3-3 draw with Austria in Poznan, the next stage in the
build-up for the first round of the World League in Portugal at the
end of next month.

“We had plenty of chances to win, but paid the penalty
of being dragged down to their level, we were unable to kill them
off when we had the chance,” said Eugene Connolly, Scotland`s
manager.

The Scots took the lead in 12 minutes, the build-up came from
Fergus Dunn and Kenny Bain, the latter finished off the move with a
low shot past the goalkeeper from the top of the circle.  The
Austrians equalised but Scotland took a 2-1 lead just on the
interval, a pass from Russell Anderson found the unmarked Bain in
the circle and he dispatched a low shot into the net.

The Scots seemed to have sealed the victory when an
excellent free hit by Willie Marshall by-passed the Austrian
defence and Bain notched his third with a simple
tap-in.  

The Austrians were allowed back into the contest and brought the
score back to 3-3.   The Scots had their chances at the
close, another Bain shot was saved by the keeper and Gordon
McIntyre had a golden chance but unfortunately missed the ball, and
an overtime penalty corner came to nothing.
